Set the list password in Imail admin.  Then send the message with the subject
line like this.
 
[:password:] My Subject
 
That is left square bracket, colon, password, colon, right square bracket followed
by your subject.  The only thing list users will see if the subject.

Subject: [IMail Forum] How do you send the password to the list server

A while back I sent the following message. I finally found the problem thanks to John at Ipswitch Tech Support. Someone is sending the email back to the list server, and "spoofing" the from line to be the original sender. This bypasses the fact that it is a moderator only posting list. I have currently blocked the offending IP address from any SMTP activity, and thought adding a password to the list would be a good idea. I cannot find any mention of how to send the password in the docs.
 
Old message:
I have one mailing list that has sent three copies of the message to some/all of the recipients the last two times it was used. I am using iMail 5.06. I have tried looking at the log file, but it is huge. As far as I can tell the message to send was only received once, and cannot see where it was sent to each recipient more than once, but I received it three times once 45 minutes after the first, and once 2 hours after the first. Any thoughts as to what is causing this?
